‘It is unacceptable that Jews face fear and unrest just trying to access public transportation.’
A bus driver in Manchester, England kicked an Israeli woman off of a bus after she commented on a pro-Palestinian symbol the driver was wearing on his uniform.
Following the incident, the Manchester Jewish Council released a statement condemning the bus driver’s actions.
“As the Jewish community exits its Passover, we are once again frightened by company employees contracted by Manchester City Council who are openly displaying political symbols relating to the current conflict in the Middle East.”
They noted that Jewish passengers are facing increasing problems in public places, including on buses and trains.
The statement said,”It is unacceptable that they face fear and unrest just trying to access public transportation.”
The statement continued, “We appreciate the swift response from the company following this incident, which was raised with their team.”
